Cornwall

The fact that we have over 200 unique stays in Cornwall says a lot about the popularity of this part of England.  It's a county with something for everyone.  Best known for it's beautiful coastline and beaches, you can also enjoy ancient fishing harbours, and historic houses.  And not forgetting the world-renowned pasties and Cornish cream teas!  You can choose a pretty harbourside cottage for two, or a rambling rural farmhouse for a big group of family and friends, and you'll never be far from the stunning beaches.   One Off Places has made it its mission to find the most unique stays in Cornwall for people who'd like to experience this beautiful county from a beautiful property!

Clearly the beautiful coastline, which stretches for almost 300 miles, is one of Cornwall’s main attractions. Dotted with villages and beaches, the Cornish coast epitomises the kind of idyllic, photo-perfect image you have in mind when you think about seaside holidays. And of course this wealth of shoreline makes a holiday rental in Cornwall an obvious choice if you’re into water sports. Whether you’re into the gentler pursuits like swimming and fishing, or you’re after something more adrenalin-fuelled, like surfing, scuba diving or coasteering, you will find an expanse of water to suit you. On land, hike the rugged coastal paths, try a spot of rock pooling, or just enjoy the atmosphere and the salty air of the beaches at The Lizard, St Ives or Land’s End. A holiday property in Cornwall offers a wealth of possibilities.

If you’re more into wild countryside than sand, head for Bodmin Moor for a holiday rental in Cornwall. Criss-crossed with walking trails, this is a fascinating and arresting area with a lot of history and some impressive prehistoric remains. You could picnic at Crowdy Reservoir, explore the Tamar Valley, or feed the ducks at Argal Lake. If you’re interested in gardens and historic houses then you’ve certainly come to the right place – a holiday cottage in Cornwall will give you easy access to plenty of them. Why not visit Prideaux Place in Padstow, wander round the gardens at Lanhydrock House or head for Truro where you will find places like Trewithen House and Gardens and Trelissick Gardens. The options are endless.

When you rent a holiday house in Cornwall, you know you’re going to have a lot to do. And when you’ve spent all day on the beach or sightseeing, there’s nothing better than relaxing with a freshly-cooked, locally-produced meal. Luckily, there is plenty of this on offer, from quaint little pubs and inns to internationally renowned restaurants. Delicious cuisine in stunning surroundings - it’s hard to beat that. From the famous Eden Project to the legendary Tintagel Castle, from the animal sanctuaries to the atmospheric mines, there is something for all the family.
